So what is Existentialism?
It is the belief that mankind is ultimately totally responsible for its own successes, failures, and fates.
Existentialism says that all values are created by humans-- there is no measure of good, evil, courage,
right or wrong outside of what humans say it is. Existentialism does not believe that there is any
value that exists independent of man's definition of it, so that we are what we define ourselves as. Every choice we make
in life defines what and who we are-- for good or for ill by our own definition of good and ill.
